MARIA'S
STORY: 1773
A Colonial Williamsburg Young Americans Series Book

When Maria Rind's father dies, her mother is forced to continue his work writing
and publishing the Virginia Gazette newspaper. That leaves Maria to look
after her three brothers, a task she does not enjoy.

The goods
and services produced by skilled trades people were invaluable to early American
communities. This unit uses primary sourcesthe Virginia Gazette
newspaper, shop signs, biographies, and moreto discover the life and work
of these people. This is an in-depth look at early American trades and economy.
